At one time Williams was a great jilaur. but he is no longer to be com pared to Tilden.Johnstou, Griffin, Davis cr ItnbcrK As a matter of fact, Wal lace Y. Johnson, of Cynwyd. would team up fur belter with Tildcn or Johnston In (use of nu emergency thnn either Wlllinnis or Garland. 'J lie latter thowed dearly when he and Tlldeu wcr beaten by Davis nnd Itoberts that he plajs too soft a game to compete as n Internationalist, nnd the former demonstrated just as clearly that he is not a sound doubles player nnd prob ablr never will be ngain. Williams today is the most overrated plajrr in America. lie is living on the reputation Hint ho won five years ago. Therefoie there is certainly no reason mIij lie should be olioscnjfnbovi' men v, ho would lit in better in any doubles (oiubinntion nnd nlso would do better in Mtiglcs. i Heal Test If for no other reason Griffin should b roniiidereil because of his almost flawless play in the doubles finals which he and Johnston won Hnttirdoy on the Chestnut Hill courts of the Longwood Cricket Club. Their victory over Davis and Itoberts. the conquerors of Tilden and Garland, was so clenn-cut thnt it Is iinpnssihle to rig up any kind of nn alibi for the defeated fiuulUts. In that match Griffin fitted in ner- fnth with .Johnston n play nnd that is nil tliete Is to doubles, Davis and Huberts did the correct thing when they decided to nlav Grlilln. They nrob- ably believed that he wojjld crack under the strain of being made n constnnt tareet. but lie sn't tbc Klnil tliat cracks under any strain. Gr ffin scored very few placement points, but he made very few errors ; in fnet. he made six less errors than Johnston.

A Perfect Onmo This) method of feeding the ball Griffin's virtually fn .Tnhtmtnn vfn the enemy to make the points worked out beautifully. It is just inc way tlio old Camden Eastern I.enetln basketball .tenm nn nlntml rlho team fed the boll to the late Jackie' Adams and he did the rest. Just how ' this worked out on the tennis court Is seen in the points-scored column. I Johnston and Griffin made ninety-three, points in the three sets against Davis nnd Itobert. Of these, forty-one were I earned. Of those earned points. Johns-1 ton mnde thirty-two nnd Griffin nine, i yet Griffin did not make ns maiy errors ' ns Johnston, which proves how well he did his part. Hy his fine plating. iTiiuiu unr uuiu Luvitt nun iiuucnrt off bnlance so they couldn't make their usual drives. Probably the average spectator seeing that finals match nt I.ongwood might have thought thot Griffin's shots were- soft. Dut thej weren't. They were soft in comparison to Johnston's, that's all. Never in Ills career has the little sandy-haired const stor driven with such tremendous speed ns he used to enptuic that doubles match. Davis and Itoberts re luird hitters, too (ask Tilden and Garland), but their shots were slow beside the drives that Johnston pulled off. Another Title Besides winning the national doubles for the third time with Johnston. Grif fin won the Newport singles. lie de feated Johnston In the finals. That vic tory over JobnBton wns not in itself very impressive because nt that time Johnston had not fullv recovered from the trip abroad nnd lie nlso had had some trouble which did not fit him mentally for the battles he had to go through at the Casino. However, the fact that field at New port consisted of nil the best players in the country except Tilden, shows that the winner will get n lot of points In the rating under the new mathematical sjstem. Davis nnd lloberts were unfortunate In the draw at I.ongwood. Thej hnd to work their way through a field of the bestjeams that nny other one team ever bad to meet before leaching the finals while it might ns well have bccu"f OfPliallengc round ns far ns Johnston and Griffin were concerned, so easy were all their matches, except the one with Wallace Johnson and JStrfnley Pearson. They left AV. J. Clothier and Henls C. Wright, Denn Mathcy nnd Wntson Washburn, Dick Williams and Dick Harte and Tilden nnd Gnrland as their wnyside victims in reaching the ulti mate round. Another Angle incidentally the gieat work of Davis and Itoberts shows better than anything how well Clothier nnd Wiight plnyed to carry them four sets. And Davis and Roberts were fresh, too, when they hit the ex-champions. The one big, pleasing thing to Phila dclphinns in the national double's tournament js the fnet thnt Hill Tilden not only lived up to his reputation hut absolutely opened the eyes of the tennis woiltl by the genius of Ills plnv. He showed the natives of Iioston and others who were fortunate enough to m him play the greatest variety of strokes ever beheld on a tennis court. Also he dis played an almost clnirvojnut ability in diagnosing bis opponents' shots. Furthermore, Hill demonstrated once nnd for nil that as n tactician he is in n class by himself. With all of those assets it is smnll wonder thnt he hnd tho British look on iu speechless bewilderment as he breezed nround the court scoring ngain mull ngain on shots that would have been thought impossi ble if they had not been seen.
